When you come to this guildhall, you come to learn the value of value.

We walk in the flesh divine. Born of gold, we stride among the basest metals of man, learning the unfixed worth of each thing… apprehending the Dedwen of the living world.

We do this not merely for our Judge, nor even for the greater glory of the gods, but to manifest the unutterable greatness that is our birthright, burden, and ultimate borne.

To this guildhall, one comes not to learn the oldest rites of burial, nor the latest sacred scrawl, but to learn and then embody the great lesson of greatness—to live inside the reality that binds all things, great or small, of value:

Greatness is worth.

— Merew-Tjaw, the Anointed One

This book includes:

• A look inside the secret traditions and structures of the five Arisen guilds, from the shadowy envoys of the Maa-Kep to the forbidden arts of the First Prophets among the priests of Irem.

• A host of new mechanics options, including dozens of new Affinities and Utterances, as well as systems for adjudicating changes in guild status and a new sub-type of khat-based ritual magic.

• “Crucible of Fate” — a complete Mummy story that Storytellers can run alone or as the first chapter in an ongoing series called The Avarice Chronicle.

Note on the Print Editions: Standard Color uses a thinner paper stock than Premium Color, basically the same paper as the Black & White books. This usually means the colors are less vivid, but it also means the price drops a bit per page in the production process. Examples of pages: Premium Color vs. Standard Color.

Hey, Have you received your copy? I have two questions 1) It was the standard print, correct? 2) does the Standard print look good or no? because I am trying to decide if I want the standard discount or just shell out the extra cash for the Premium.

STILL disappointed that this was not just included in the book in some way. WW/OP already know they are going to make money off of it at this point, and the larger the "Stretch Goals" the more they make. Don't get me wrong. I want them to make money so they keep doing it, but calling it a goose and getting an opossum is not cool. To call it a stretch goal is misleading at best. To me, "stretch goal" would mean something that would be more of a benefit to me, Not just Richard. At least in the normal sense of the idea of "investment". I mean, hell, we still took the risk that the book could have potentially NOT gone to print. Stated themselves. Likely just for legal reasons though.

PURCHASER

I had heard that those of us who purchased the PDF version when it first became available would be receiving "coupons" to lower the cost for the POD version appropriately? Just curious (I'll be getting the POD version regardless on next pay day). :)

I didn't understand Mummy when I finished reading the corebook. The player's section described a Tier 3 character, but the Storyteller's section described Tier 1 personal conflicts. After reading this supplement I now get Mummy: they are religious warr [...]

Guildhalls of the Deathless is a comprehensive and dense book that expands upon the philosophies, objectives and structures of the Guilds. Where the descriptions for these groups are limited in the core book of Mummy the Curse, we are presented length [...]

This book is invaluable to understanding the Arisen and the various guilds that they can belong to. From the core rulebook you begin to get a vague and general idea about the guilds and while this works at first they can seem rather flat and boring, th [...]

This book really powerfully fleshes out the guilds of the Arisen and makes multiple-mummy parties much more reasonable. Reading through this took the guilds from a background element of the setting that I wasn't sure what to do with, to a major facet [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
